You may know Donatella Versace as the luxury-loving sister of Gianni, a platinum-tressed fashionista who's all about private jets, perpetual stilettos, friendships with Elton John and glittery runway clothes. But the designer actually loves shopping at...

Anthropologie and Abercrombie and Fitch! Donatella is guest blogging for T, the New York Times style magazine, this week and discusses her favorite spots to shop when she visits New York City: "[Anthropologie] has an eclectic, vintage feel that is very different than what we have in Milan. I will also buy my son Daniel some jeans at Abercrombie & Fitch on Fifth Avenue and visit Barneys, which I like because it is just what a Manhattan department store should be."

Can you imagine standing in Anthropologie with an armful of ruffly dresses and frilly little tops and seeing this glamourpuss stroll up next to you? I DIE! I think my permanent image of Donatella (thanks in no small part to Maya Rudolph's dead-on hilarious impressions on Saturday Night Live) is a woman so concerned with fabulousness, the stores come to her. I love that she's not too cool to shop at a chain store.

* I don't think I've ever walked out of Forever 21 empty handed. I'm a self-confessed Total Trendoid and fast fashion addict, and there's no better place to get my cheap Friday night fix. I've got mountains of plastic jewelry and essentially disposable dresses from the mega-chain.

* Once upon a time, I loved a vintage store on the Lower East Side called Edith & Daha. And then Sienna Miller blabbed about it to Vogue, it became kinda crowded, and somewhere along the line, Edith & Daha split up...which wasn't necessarily a bad thing. Now we've got Edith Machinist on Rivington Street and Daha Vintage just a couple of blocks away on Orchard. Both specialize in vintage shoes and have incredible selections at very fair prices.

* Bergdorf Goodman is one of those places that makes me feel like Holly Golightly. When I venture uptown (which is, to be honest, mostly to go to the holy trinity of Manhattan department stores: Bergdorfs, Barneys, Bendels) I always take a stroll through the lobby of The Plaza and then wind my way through every fabulous floor of Berdgorfs. The beauty counters are downstairs in the basement, and it is one of the most luxurious and beautiful retail spaces in all of New York. If you're going to spend the same $20 on a lipstick no matter where you buy it, you might as well enjoy the indulgent experience of being surrounded by beautiful people and stunning European-inspired interiors, right?

* And finally, I must 'fess up to being an avowed Loehmann's shopper. My mother is the queen of designer discounts and instilled the thrill of the hunt in me from a very early age. I still remember when our New Jersey Loehmann's had one giant dressing room and all of the old biddies would just strip down right there, squeezing into Calvin Klein frocks at 50% off. These days there are curtains involved, but it's still just as much fun for me to spend an afternoon alone, digging through the racks to uncover some buried treasure.

So...now it's time for you to share, girls! What's your favorite store to shop at? Do you have a few, like me? Or are you loyal to one place in particular? Do you dig Anthropologie, like Donatella? Or are you more of a department store shopper? Share!
